Can bikes(motorcycles) be driven on carpool lane? At carpool time? If not what if there are two people on a bike?

All states have adapted the rule that motorcycles are allowed in the carpool or HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) Lanes.
Even if there is only one person on the bike.
Sometimes there are just so many benefits to riding a bike.

I'm pretty sure it is universally acceptable for motorcycle to be driven in the HOV lane. HOV started out (if you really want the details) in the mid 1980s to relieve traffic congestion. It was based on the principle that wheels mattered. So a motorcycle with 2 wheels was HOV while a car with 4 wheels had to have 2 passengers.
HOV means High Occupany Vehicle, and I think a motorcycle is HOV once you have a rider ... I certainly think lawmakers would never insist a motorcycle have 2 riders to be HOV, since that is more dangerous.
Have a great day!

No, you can't drive in the carpool lane just because you're pregnant.
